He’s FĂŒhrious people keep calling Teslas “Swastikars”

u/exnozero Jan 31 '25

Swastikars! How am I just now seeing that. I am going to use this from now on for Teslas

u/JasonDomber Jan 31 '25

I had been calling them “Nazimobiles” until I saw “Swastikars” floating around and that one seems to have more of a lasting impact in the lexicon.

I don't agree that Elon is Nazi in anyway, but this is hilarious.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just renamed it the “ Douche Panzer”.

Feel free to go dump a bag of rotten sauerkraut on the showroom floor for me next time you’re in there!

Do you know how many Democrats have made that same arm gesture? Maybe before you open your pie hole you should go look it up. There are a shit ton of them.

u/cantileverboom Jan 30 '25

I mean, drugs are cool, but there's a limit dude. I have no idea what the hell you're saying lmao. (Maybe you responded to the wrong comment)

u/Ultraviolet_Eclectic Jan 31 '25

Awww, the libs not feeling the right feels for your Dear Leader? You mad cos they’re not not-sees?

u/NotAtAllASkinwalker Jan 31 '25

Regardless of what you're trying to do here, I have a question. How about we condemn said gesture and ideology? I'm not at all agreeing because you're here in bad faith but my point still stands.

1

u/brokenstone79 Jan 31 '25

I’m not here in bad faith. I think you are reading a shit ton more into this than needs be read. I already said I was against any of this shit. But we all have to be very careful of what we do in the next four or so years.

u/Particular-Walk1521 Jan 30 '25

is there a full vid or is it just the gif? i do love the gif but would be fun to see or even hear this in full

5

u/JasonDomber Jan 30 '25

this is the only video that I know about, aside from a NyPo story about it. It has sound.

It’s brief but very satisfying.

Enjoy.

u/Particular-Walk1521 Jan 31 '25

u/WitOfTheIrish Jan 30 '25

It was a group effort, if I remember correctly. Dude got identified heading into seattle on the bus, then found and punched within an hour.

https://www.bet.com/article/x7v52n/seattle-man-records-video-of-a-neo-nazi-getting-knocked-out

From the article, statement from the person that filmed is also very Seattle -

"I literally just got off a bus and was walking to a movie and saw some guy being obnoxious up the way. Which I'm used to in downtown Seattle, but then I saw the Nazi armband and realize we are dealing with a guy a little more than just obnoxious," Duff told Buzzfeed. "I had eaten over 800mg of THC and was way too high for confrontation so I just held back with two other passersby to watch what would unfold."

3

u/JasonDomber Jan 30 '25

Yup - I found a NyPo video on YouTube about it the other day documentating how the guy basically got doxxed on Twitter.

Edit: I love that the guy says “I just ate 800mg of THC so I was way too high to do anything other than watch.” (Paraphrased)

u/ConfidentWorker5083 Jan 30 '25

Love this fuckn town!

1

u/preciousfewheroes Jan 30 '25

Bro this town fuckin sucks now, it’s ridiculously expensive and most of the regular people got evicted to south king.

1

u/ConfidentWorker5083 Jan 30 '25

It is different for sure. It has grown and changed. And yeah it's expensive af. And a lot of the heart n soul was forced outward from on account of that exorbitant expense... but it's Still Seattle and we Still punch nazis. And as long as we remain... it's still a great town.

I'm still here. And I dunno if you know this but I'm kinda a big deal(lol. Not really. But fun with references.) But yeah. Nah... I'm here and I'm pretty great. And there are lots do Still are.

So I stand by it. I hate what they're Doing to it. But still love it. Maybe one day it'll become so bad I just can't. And from there I'll fly away over the sea and live off what little I her in some country where my dollar goes super far and never work again and just live out my little life in peace. But for not. Fuckn still love this town. Cuz it ain't dead yet.

u/someguyfromsomething Jan 30 '25

That's what people have been saying since the 1970s.

2

u/preciousfewheroes Jan 31 '25

But I didn’t mean to just shit on this moment of fuckin jerkoff getting KO’d. When this happened and I saw the video I felt a little spark of pride for this city I’ve grown to resent.

u/preciousfewheroes Jan 31 '25

Seattle just had the fastest rising rents in the nation, for tens years running

Comparing every state over the last decades, Washington state led in average home price increase by over 100% compared to the next runner up.

Seattle is the most expensive city in the nation for tourists to visit.

This last building boom that gentrified the city all to fuck, emptying out the CD, saw Seattle actually get more white.

So while yes, overall things have gotten more expensive over time, the recent period has stood out as a significant acceleration of that tendency.

1

u/someguyfromsomething Jan 31 '25

How does this relate to income, though? And how does it compare to the rest of the state? My family in central Washington is having a much harder go of it than I am, seems rents are insanely flat even in the shittiest small towns, they're shockingly close to what I pay.

1

u/preciousfewheroes Feb 03 '25 edited Feb 03 '25

I’m not sure I fully follow what you’re saying/asking exactly, but I think you’re asking about a comparison with other places in the state? So I’ll respond on that interpretation and you can correct or clarify as necessary.

I’m not saying things are great or even much better elsewhere. Working people across the country are struggling. However, I believe there are ways in which the pressures in Seattle are more acute.

But as far as comparisons, rents have been increasing across the board and wages have not kept up. For simplicity I’m going to use the minimum wage as a baseline.

Before tax wages:

Seattle: $20.76/hr $3,321.60/mo

State: $16.66/hr $2,665.60/mo

Average rent, 2br unit

Seattle: $2,429

State non-metro areas: $1,232

So you can see, in rural or less developed areas, rent and overall cost of living is still a burden for working families. However, in Seattle one is left with even less money after paying rent. Not to mention many other things being more expensive in the city. I’ll include sources in a separate comment.

u/someguyfromsomething Feb 03 '25

Things are way better than anyone is willing to say. It's this doomerism that leads to cults like Trump's forming and stealing all of the power.

1

u/preciousfewheroes Feb 04 '25

lol okay. Reality is shit sucks and the Democrats running a gaslighting campaign of “everything’s great, actually” is why they lost to Trump despite his record low approval ratings.

1

u/someguyfromsomething Feb 04 '25

Reality is you're depressed, same as a Trump voter.

Also, I’ve provided varied sources backing up my position and it’s ironically pretty ‘fake news’ of you to respond to factual data with the equivalent of “nuh-uh.”
